Religion, spirituality, and physical health in cancer patients: A meta‐analysis
Open accessAbstract
Although religion/spirituality (R/S) is important in its own right for many cancer patients, a large body of research has examined whether R/S is also associated with better physical health outcomes. This literature has been characterized by heterogeneity in sample composition, measures of R/S, and measures of physical health. In an effort to synthesize previous findings, a meta‐analysis of the relation between R/S and patient‐reported physical health in cancer patients was performed. A search of PubMed, PsycINFO, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and the Cochrane Library yielded 2073 abstracts, which were independently evaluated by pairs of raters. The meta‐analysis was conducted for 497 effect sizes from 101 unique samples encompassing more than 32,000 adult cancer patients. R/S measures were categorized into affective, behavioral, cognitive, and ‘other’ dimensions. Physical health measures were categorized into physical well‐being, functional well‐being, and physical symptoms. Average estimated correlations (Fisher z scores) were calculated with generalized estimating equations with robust variance estimation. Overall R/S was associated with overall physical health ( z = 0.153, P < .001); this relation was not moderated by sociodemographic or clinical variables. Affective R/S was associated with physical well‐being ( z = 0.167, P < .001), functional well‐being ( z = 0.343, P < .001), and physical symptoms ( z = 0.282, P < .001). Cognitive R/S was associated with physical well‐being ( z = 0.079, P < .05) and functional well‐being ( z = 0.090, P < .01). ‘Other’ R/S was associated with functional well‐being ( z = 0.100, P < .05). In conclusion, the results of the current meta‐analysis suggest that greater R/S is associated with better patient‐reported physical health. These results underscore the importance of attending to patients' religious and spiritual needs as part of comprehensive cancer care. Cancer 2015;121:3760–3768. © 2015 American Cancer Society .
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This meta-analysis found that greater religion/spirituality (R/S) was significantly associated with better patient-reported physical health in cancer patients. Affective R/S showed the strongest and most consistent associations across physical well-being, functional well-being, and physical symptoms.
Key findings
- Overall R/S was associated with overall physical health (z = .153, p < .001), and this relationship was not moderated by sociodemographic or clinical variables (p values > .08).
- Affective R/S was associated with physical well-being (z = .167, p < .001), functional well-being (z = .343, p < .001), and physical symptoms (z = .282, p < .001).
- Cognitive R/S was associated with physical well-being (z = .079, p < .05) and functional well-being (z = .090, p < .01); “other” R/S was associated with functional well-being (z = .100, p < .05).
- Behavioral R/S was not significantly associated with physical health (p = .57).
Methods
- Meta-analysis of 497 effect sizes from 101 unique samples encompassing over 32,000 adult cancer patients; searches of PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library yielded 2,073 abstracts through December 20, 2013.
- R/S measures were categorized a priori as affective, behavioral, cognitive, or “other”; physical health outcomes were categorized as physical well-being, functional well-being, and physical symptoms.
- Average effect sizes were estimated on the Fisher z scale using generalized estimating equations with robust variance estimation; moderator analyses examined demographic and clinical variables.
Limitations
- The paper states that included studies tended to use small convenience samples, with nearly half including fewer than 150 participants; methods sections were often incomplete, and R/S measures varied in quality.
- The paper states that the meta-analysis relied mostly on bivariate correlations from cross-sectional studies, preventing causal or directional inferences; few longitudinal studies precluded analyzing study design as a moderator, and too few studies examined objective outcomes such as inflammation, recurrence, or survival.
- The paper reports possible funnel-plot asymmetry for affective R/S, though a cluster-robust Egger’s test did not detect reporting bias (p = .08); evident from the text, physical health was patient-reported only, and some R/S sub-dimensions had too few samples for analysis.

“The strongest relationships were found between affective dimensions of RS (e.g., sense of meaning, purpose, or connection to a source larger than oneself) and mental health outcomes, whereas behavioral RS constructs (e.g., service attendance, prayer and meditation) showed few significant associations with health, except for a modest positive relationship with social health outcomes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
